Okay, this is a really short post, but I really wanted to share a small scene from a film of video art called 'You and Me and Everyone We Know' by Miranda July. It is known as the 'shoe scene', which we were shown in one of my lectures where we were discussing what video art was. We watched a few examples of this medium of art, and some of the clips we had to watch, I thought were quite tedious to be honest. However, this one thought was quite adorable and really enjoyed watching it. The shoes (and feet) each represent the "you" and "me" in a relationship and the motions people make when they care about someone, for example, the hesitations and missteps (which is quite literal in this case). The motions are also like a dance, which I guess is what love is like, I think.
As I said, it's a very short post, but this video is really quite beautiful and very clever.
